Here is a movie on Youtube where somebody walks down Eaton Place to revisit her childhood home. She is walking down the south side of the street (whereas 65 is on the north) but you get the general idea. She also walks into Eaton Mews North (shown in The Property of a Lady). You can also 'drive' past 65 in Google Maps though sadly 65 was swathed in scaffolding when the Google car passed by. You can also drive past LWT, where most of the show was made (links to external sites/s)
